As a driver, Mo Feng must remain silent when following Xiao Zheng. He's the one driving the car, he's the one holding the gun, but he has no role in speaking.
This is the realization of the driver and bodyguard.
But seeing that there was only one secretary waiting at the door, Mo Feng suddenly felt resentful and felt that it was not worth it for Xiao Zheng. Before Xiao Zheng could speak, he said, "Where's Minister Tang? Our boss has turned down so many appointments just to meet Minister Tang."
What he said was quite reasonable, and it didn't bring the two sides into a quarrel. But he expressed his dissatisfaction appropriately.
Mo Feng has made some progress in dealing with people.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng's driver suddenly became angry, the secretary explained very politely: "A group of the minister's old subordinates suddenly visited the unit, and Minister Tang had already led them into the box. He was unable to greet Boss Xiao in person, so the minister asked me to convey His apology.”
Things have always been done in a sinister manner. But he apologized profusely.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Faced with the secretary's meticulous attitude, Xiao Zheng really had no reason to lower his face.
Smiling, Xiao Zheng raised his hand slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would not be able to complete the reception task. Seeing that Xiao Zheng was quite polite this time, he felt relieved and hurriedly raised his hand to invite Xiao Zheng into the unit canteen.
The secretary is on temporary duty. He is a direct subordinate of Minister Tang, and his connections in the Ministry of Commerce are quite impressive. It's just compared to the business celebrity in front of me. Maybe Minister Tang can hold it, but he doesn't have the qualifications.
China is a human society, and it is a complex structure with backgrounds. The secretary's biggest backer is Minister Tang. On the other hand, the energy behind Xiao Zheng involves national leaders.
How could a mere secretary dare to be so presumptuous in front of Xiao Zheng
He walked in front alone, taking three steps and looking back, leading the way with a smile, very humble. However, after Minister Tang repeatedly made things difficult for Xiao Zheng, this was his duty as a subordinate to wipe his ass.
Otherwise, how could this meeting be held as scheduled? I'm afraid the two sides will have to break up before Xiao Zheng enters the box, right
The decoration of the unit canteen is mainly simple and elegant, comparable to that of a university canteen. And the number of private rooms is also quite large. Of course, this is because of the special nature of the Ministry of Commerce. Regardless of whether it is food, drink or flowers on the market, there is basically a trace of the Ministry of Commerce in it. This is only microscopic. Speaking at a macro level, the promotion of investment in provinces and cities, the economic war between countries, and the circulation of currency are also coordinated by this department with great powers.
As a ministry of the State Council, it is a standard cabinet member. The ministerial rank of the Ministry of Commerce is enough for Executive Minister Tang to make all the changes.
The group of people arrived at the door of the box, and before they even knocked on the door, they heard the sound of chatting and laughing coming from inside. Apparently Minister Tang was having a good chat with a group of old subordinates.
The secretary knocked on the door and announced Xiao Zheng's arrival.
Soon, the door opened and Xiao Zheng entered the box under the guidance of his secretary.
As soon as I entered, my vision suddenly became clear.
The box was big enough, and there were seven or eight people sitting on the round table. The person who ranks first is none other than Minister Tang, who is about fifty-five years old. He wears a smart suit. After all, he is the core leader of the Ministry of Commerce, and his external image is that of an elite. He is very dedicated to his job.
Xiao Zheng's appearance obviously attracted Minister Tang's great attention. He stood up slowly, got down from the front desk, and walked over to greet Xiao Zheng in person. And shook hands with him cordially: "Boss Xiao, I have really offended you in the past two days. Please don't take it to heart if you have a lot."
He first came to apologize. No matter how much resentment Xiao Zheng had, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to explode on the spot. Otherwise, it would seem too unreasonable.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said very humbly: "Minister Tang, you are too polite."
"Haha. No more words. I'll have a drink with you later." After that, he took Xiao Zheng's hand and walked straight to the front desk.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and finally Minister Tang took the lead, followed by Xiao Zheng.
"Colleagues." After Minister Tang took his seat, he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile. "Boss Xiao's name must be familiar to everyone, right?"
Everyone laughed in unison: "Who in Yanjing doesn't know the name of Boss Xiao? He is a star entrepreneur."
Most of the jobs of the officials here are related to the economy. There is the Investment Promotion Bureau, there is the Ministry of Finance, there are also competent departments such as the National Development and Reform Commission. It can be said that they are a group of officials who are concerned with people's livelihood issues. The military officers and officials who maintain public order like Minister Kim happen to be both civil and military.
It seems that no matter whether it is ancient or modern. There are always natural conflicts between civil and military officials. It is also easier to induce competition.
Military generals look down upon the weakness of civilian officials. Civil servants looked down upon the recklessness of military generals. This has been the case since ancient times.
Minister Tang introduced his old subordinates to Xiao Zheng one by one, but never took the initiative to introduce the topic of Xiao Zheng's purpose.
You know, Xiao Zheng came to the appointment, but he had something to discuss with Minister Tang in detail. And the latter knew this very well. But unfortunately, he just kept dragging Xiao Zheng to drink, eat, and chat. Xiao Zheng was not given a chance to enter the topic at all.
In nearly half an hour, Xiao Zheng drank a bottle and a half of liquor. But he only said a few words of greeting. Didn't even take two bites of the food.
At this time, a fat and white official stood up with white wine and said very boldly: "Boss Xiao, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to have a drink with you. It is better to choose a different day, but today I let you I caught up. Come on, we must have a drink!"
The workplace cafeteria is no better than a hotel, and it doesn’t have the small cups to slowly sip. There are only two taels of cups. Xiao Zheng's bottle and a half were basically drank by the officials. It's hard to refuse people's kindness, so what can he do
But there were seven or eight people on the other side, and Xiao Zheng only had one. Even if he really couldn't pour a thousand cups, if each person weighed one pound, he would have to drink eight bottles. It would be too much for anyone else.
Obviously, the other party was trying to force someone to drink out of spite, not a genuine kindness.
Xiao Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at the fat white official, and suddenly put down his wine glass.
"What's wrong, Boss Xiao? Are you looking down on my humbleness and refusing to even give me a drink?" The fat white official said with a smile, clearly trying to intimidate me.
"You misunderstood." Xiao Zheng smiled and stood up slowly. "Drinking cup after cup cannot express my respect for you. It cannot highlight our friendship."
After that, he picked up two bottles of liquor, opened them one after another, turned the table, and sent one of the bottles to the fat official: "Let's blow on the bottles."
As soon as Xiao Zheng said this, there was an uproar in the box.
Blow into the bottle
I've heard of beer blowers. I’ve never heard of blowing baijiu!
The fat white official's face changed suddenly. It was obvious that Xiao Zheng had generalized his army and he was a little bit unable to get off the stage.
